Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Costa Rica is underway.
  • 5' - Daniel Chacon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Daichi Kamada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - It’s high time Luis Suarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
